Anyone else hate banking lingo and make fun of it, but as soon as a discussion starts you say "we dont want to boil the ocean here". Fml. Whats your most despised finance phrase?

Hi, I recently received a job offer of 100k that said their base cap was 95k, should I or can I counteroffer, if so to what would be reasonable? And I've been interviewing with other companies as well and this company isn't my first choice. Can I accept/counter the offer as I see if the companies (of choice) will give me an offer?

It will all work out in the end. I just want to remind everyone that job rejection is just part of the process and try not to get too down if you haven’t landed that new role. What’s yours will be yours at the end of the day. Just remember something bigger and better is coming along!

What are signs you should move on from your job? Been at my company for 5 years and feel completely burnt out and under appreciated. Don’t know if it’s due more to WFH but getting the itch it may be time to make a move. Currently in wealth management and thinking of making a move to fintech for a better work like balance.

Do not have a personal computer so have been using my work computer for new job search activities like updating my resume and sending networking emails (using my personal email). When it comes to scheduling zoom interviews, do I just take them on my company laptop?

Hey everyone, I’ve been struggling to get into a Risk analyst position, even though I have somewhat of a relevant background experience in dealing with risk in banking . I would appreciate if anyone give some advice or point me to someone who can help, I’ve been reaching out to many people on LinkedIn but I’ve lost all hope, no one’s been responding. Any help would be appreciated, I might even name my first born after you lol. Thank you!
